Your lovely eyes
Are a good disguise
To the pain that you have caused.

You're full of lies
And I'd advise
That you consider what you've lost.

imsorryican'tstoptellingyouhowmuchiloveyou

i can keep telling you i love you every day but every time i do, i feel like i'm simultaneously losing pieces of my heart. you brush it off like i don't mean anything to you. like i never meant anything to you. i wonder if i'll ever mean something to you again. you said you knew what you wanted but i know whatever it is no longer includes me. and i know myself; i'm weak when it comes to you so even though i've been thinking lately about how i wont be foolish enough to fall back in love with you not even all that deep down, i'm sure that i will. but i can't keep telling you i love you every day. because every time i do, i'm losing mor

Unexpected love

It all started so nonchalantly I didn't even notice me Falling for you like that So innocently Like little kids playing I feel it so much When you're next to me I miss you so much When you're not here with me And it breaks my heart To think that there's a possibility That you don't think about me When you close the door And you close the lights Do I haunt your dreams Like you do mine Like you always do mine But the real tragedy Is that even if you did it wouldn't matter, you see Because a daydream is all I can do and be For anybody I want you But I can't get over all this fucking insecurity It's crushing me I can't give you what yo

warmer and warmer

the drapes greet me an unpleasant morning. the sink drip drip drips again & the tiles are colder barefoot. there is a pile of newspapers on the marble counter & dead quiet in the air- until steam billows from the coffee mug. sunlight beams in the room like a visitor & breakfast comes in with a sweet smile. it was 6:30 when i was alone, but 7:00 arrived like a neighbor & i am happy. i have myself, oversized t-shirt & messy hair & the warm comfort of my own skin. i was alone. i'm not anymore.

distance

twin-headed imps cackle at pointless wars they start pushing conflicted sides into each other while refusing to allow a grey middle-ground this endless battle of pristine and pitch loses itself in the downcast eyes and shaking bones of childlike minds fighting to grow and their skin sprouts streams like pegasus stepping down to create springs but the ages-old symbol of purity is no longer clean but tarnished rust and each gentle slip is a sigh against waiting limbs that tremble with anticipation and weigh down with guilt but some addictions can't be warded off with words and salt only stings and the battleground is littered with broken bot

after the party.

He's drunk in the backseat. "Anna. Anna. Anna," he moans, as if my name is a broken record his throat can't stop scratching; his voice is nettles and thorns, every natural prick and annoyance. My knuckles go white on the wheel. Ryan's riding shotgun and he won't look at me. "If you need me to drive him home, I can do it," he offers sheepishly. I don't answer, just press my foot to the gas and let the engine's rusty roar engulf John's voice. I peek in the rearview mirror. John's laying across the seat like a dead trout, and I can tell Ryan hasn't even bothered to buckle his seat belt. There's a photo album in John's arms that he clings to w

Exit, Stage Left

"You're lonely," he said. Thelma jumped, startled. She might not have even heard his voice over the thumping dance music, but it was just at that moment where there was a temporary lull between songs. He stood nearby, his head slightly tilted. Thelma glanced behind her, his words ricocheting in her mind - she wasn't sure what was more surprising, what he'd said or that he'd noticed and bothered to relay this observation to her at all. He was good-looking, tall and thin with artfully spiky hair, but something about him struck her as unsettling. Perhaps it was the way he spoke, or that his eyes were oddly piercing, but either way she felt hers

Rose and Iris

They loved their garden; Mother and Daughter would spend Hours in the sun. Behind their house was Green dotted with red, yellow, Pink and countless more. Mother loved roses; Daughter preferred irises. They planted with care. They watched the sun rise While blowing dandelions, And mimicked at dusk. Their birdbaths brought in Winged visitors who were Greeted with bird seed. All meals were eaten On a polka-dot blanket; Nothing but home-cooked. Catching butterflies, Looking for funny-shaped clouds, Climbing the oak tree. They ran, danced and sang, Never tiring of their Love for each other. Daughter did not think That her

Moss Green

Moss green fence slats lay decaying in the backyard, half dried from recent rain. The squirrels rustle across dead leaves, fleeing barking dogs and near-silent cats prowling for a quick meal. Pollen saturates the air; mushrooms grow in the shade of fallen branches as the fuzz of lichen creeps over a trunk felled in favor of a wooden fence.

cultural dissonance

1. i have flown around the world and you - you remind me of home aunties, uncles, cousins teta and jiddo men and women brown from dry heat and desert sun but then there are waves crashing against sandy seashores and there are palm trees ripe with falling fruit fresh at the market and there are men fishing at the phoenician wall it's give and take and like this land you are never selfish 2. i have flown around the world and you - you remind me of all that i miss so i'll tell you you're beautiful when this sense of discord is poured down my throat and dissonance shows up like an eclipse but you can still find me in the dark and y
